It’s one of the great weekends in global racing — and The Final Furlong Podcast team is on it.
Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Andy Newton to preview a classic weekend of racing across Newmarket and Churchill Downs — from the first colts' and fillies' classics to the most iconic race in America.
In the 2000 Guineas, we break down the main contenders, reveal where the real betting value lies, and put forward strong, contrasting views. In the Kentucky Derby, there’s a confident 9/1 play that has the team buzzing.
For Sunday’s 1000 Guineas, one of the panel makes the case for a 33/1 each-way outsider — and we all agree on the best bet of the weekend, with one pundit declaring: “He should be much shorter — I think he’ll **** in!”
Plus, we reveal the betting system that’s delivered serious profit all season, and the next horse to keep it rolling this weekend.

The Punchestown Festival roars into action — and The Final Furlong Podcast team is ready.
Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, Liam Firkin, Jamie Wrenn, and George Gorman to preview a blockbuster Day 1, featuring the clash of Cheltenham heroes Marine Nationale and Fact To File in the William Hill Champion Chase.

And in the KPMG Champion Novice Hurdle, can Kopek Des Bordes land another big prize — or is he vulnerable? One Final Furlong regular thinks it's time to take him on.
Full betting previews, strong opinions, and best bets for Punchestown Day 1 — don’t miss it.

The National Hunt season ends in style — and we’re all over it.
Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and George Gorman to preview a blockbuster final day at Sandown, where Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton go head-to-head for the British Trainers' Championship in a finale packed with drama, storylines… and betting angles.
We’ve got a 10/1 NAP in the opener, a select hurdle standout at 13/2, and a 6/1 play in the Celebration Chase that Adam and Emmet are bullish on — but it’s a 20/1 shot that George and Adam love (and Emmet just can’t believe they fancy).
And in the big one — the Bet365 Gold Cup — all three lock horns for a proper tricast shootout, including bold each-way darts at 20/1 and 33/1.
Expect sharp takes, passionate debate, and big-priced plays to end the jumps season with a bang.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and Alan Johns to unpack a dramatic week in racing — from Willie Mullins rewriting history with a Scottish Grand National win to the sport facing uncomfortable truths behind the scenes.
๐ Captain Cody delivers in the Scottish National — and Mullins makes history again. First-ever back-to-back wins in both Nationals in the same season. Has Harry Cobden just booked himself another ride of the year?

๐จ Racing’s dirty secret exposed: Shocking details emerge about jockey weighing room conditions. Cold water. Damp walls. Urinals next to warm-up zones. Should racecourses still be licensed with substandard facilities?
๐ Plus: Group 3 action on the Flat as the team assesses:
Jonquil’s Greenham win – Classic contender?
Duty First at 33/1 – fluke or real deal?
Zarigana, Galen, and Jan Brueghel – names to note for the Guineas and beyond.

Vandeek was a 42,000-guinea yearling. Four months later, he breezed into Tattersalls and sold for 625,000. Then he won two Group 1s. This is his story — and a deep dive into the sale that launched him.
In this Final Furlong special, we preview Europe’s most elite two-year-old sale: the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up at Newmarket.
๐ง First, we go behind the scenes with Roderic Kavanagh of Glending Stables, the man who pinhooked Vandeek. He takes us inside the prep process, what made the colt so special, and how to spot a six-figure breeze-up horse hiding in a five-figure yearling.
This episode is for racing fans, industry insiders, and anyone who wants to understand the high-stakes world of sales, speed, and strategy.
๐ฌ Then, Jason Singh, Associate Director of Marketing at Tattersalls, joins us to break down the sale’s standout lots, its incredible record of Group 1 winners — including Native Trail, Cachet, Believing — and the looming impact of Trump’s new tariffs on US buyers.

History made. Debate ignited.
Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Joe from the Ginger Joe Sports Show to review an extraordinary 2025 Grand National — where Willie Mullins became the first trainer ever to saddle the 1-2-3 in the world’s most iconic steeplechase.

๐ Falling Grand National viewing figures on ITV — what went wrong?
๐ The tragic loss of Celebre D’Allen — and a tough but fair look at the Michael Nolan controversy, the ethics of blame, and the rising pressure from animal rights groups.
Is racing at a crossroads, even in a week of brilliance?

In this high-stakes industry special, Emmet Kennedy hosts a straight-talking conversation about the future of gambling regulation in Britain — and who it really serves.
With independent bookmaker Corbett Bookmakers fined £686,000 and greyhound racing banned in Wales, there’s growing concern that smaller operators are being targeted while corporate giants get favourable treatment. But is that conspiracy — or cold reality?
Joining the debate:
Geoff Banks – CEO of Geoff Banks Bet, fiercely outspoken defender of the independent bookmaker and a critic of regulatory overreach.
Dan Waugh – Regulation adviser and former Rank Group strategy director, who’s worked with governments and Parliament to shape safer gambling frameworks.
Together they explore:
Is the Gambling Commission creating a level playing field — or entrenching a monopoly?
Why are some campaigners backing racing while celebrating greyhound bans?
Has the industry reached a tipping point in trust, transparency, and survival?
With frank opinions, uncomfortable truths, and sharp insight from both sides of the industry, this episode pulls no punches.
If you care about where betting goes next — this is essential listening.

The Final Furlong Podcast shifts gears as the flat season bursts into life—and this weekend’s ITV action from Doncaster and Kempton is full of value, angles, and bold opinions.
Host Emmet Kennedy is joined by Peter Michael and Andy Newton to break down Saturday’s top races and deliver their best bets, including a bullish 33/1 NAP that Peter is convinced should be a 12/1 shot.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by racing analyst Adam Mills and jockey George Gorman for Part 2 of The Final Furlong Podcast’s comprehensive Cheltenham Festival Review, focusing exclusively on the standout novice chasers and hurdlers.
We analyse the Michael O'Sullivan Supreme Novices' Hurdle star Kopek Des Bordes, alongside placed contenders William Munny and Romeo Coolio, discussing what lies ahead for them and identifying beaten horses primed for handicap success. Adam makes a compelling case for Turners Novices' Hurdle winner The New Lion as next year's Champion Hurdle star, while the entire team agrees The Yellow Clay and Final Demand could dominate Cheltenham in seasons to come.
Attention then shifts to key runners from the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle—Jasmin De Vaux, The Big Westerner, Derryhassen Paddy, and Wendigo—and we pinpoint future stars in Air Of Entitlement for the Mares' Chase and Sixandahalf as a potential Champion Hurdler.
Plus, we explain why shock Triumph Hurdle winner Poniros deserves serious respect, discuss the dramatic Arkle Chase victory of Jango Baie and its implications for beaten favourite Majborough, and debate whether Ballyburn should revert to hurdles after a costly defeat in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase. Could Lecky Watson emerge as a Gold Cup contender?
Finally, the team highlights overlooked Champion Bumper runners and key handicappers to follow ahead of Aintree and Punchestown.
A must-listen deep dive into racing's next generation of champions.
